DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Nominees.

We place at the head of the DEMOCRAT
C ADVOCATE to-day the names of Jack
son, Whyte and Baughman, the nominees
of the Democratic party for Governor, At
torney- General and Comptroller, and com
mend them to the hearty support of every
ADemocrat and conservative citizen of Car
roll.
The party here had hoped that one Of
CAROLS distinguished citizens would be
chosen to head the ticket, but the party
Representatives in convention assembled de-
tcreed otherwise, and the Democrats of Car
roll bow in submission to their will and will
fall into line for the nominees. Next to
our own candidates the Hon. Elihu f.,
jackson was the most acceptable for the
high Office of Governor, and Carroll will
signify her acceptance of the ticket by CIV
ing it large majority.
Senator Jackson came into the conven-
sion with nearly the solid vote of the
Eastern Shore at his Lack. His friends
rgued that that section was strongly Dem
leratic: that it had not had Governor
- losen by the people for the past forty
4 wears, and these facts were supplemented
by the claim of great executive capacity
for their candidate and eminent fitness.
His experience in the House and Senate
gives him a knowledge of state affairs, and
his large and varied business interests
proves his executive ability and capacity.
lis career has always been successful.
lis experience on the farm, as lumber
merchant. manufacturer, in shipping, rail-
reading and banking, gives him general
and intimate knowledge with business at
fairs, and his ripe judgment will be carried
y. into the executive chair at Annapolis. lie
will be business Governor, and will adj
minister affairs with the same prudence
and economy that has marked his career
In the commercial world.
Hon. William Pinkney Whyte is so
well known to the people of Maryland, that
! nothing we can say can add to his name
4 and fame He has filled many places of
honor and trust, and his eminent ability is
known throughout the length and breadth
4 of the state. His eloquent voice has been
heard in many hard fought campaign,
, and his record as Democrat is without n
flaw.
Col. Baughman is also well known to the
Democracy of Maryland, and needs no in
Eroduction. Coming from the adjoining
county of Frederick he is known as well
here as in his own county, He is bold,
dashing leader, and will be found cheering
the party to victory in every part of the
state. Except as President of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal, Col. Baughman has
never held office, but he has been in the
front of every contest for the past eight or
ten years. Under his leadership Frederick,
the Republican stronghold of the state, has
been redeemed A Republican majority
|pf five or six hundred has been overcome
n the last three contests, and the county is
now under Democratic control, As the
|veandidate for Congress last year he con-
tended against the popular McComas, who
never knew defeat, and reduced his majority
a about 1000 in 1884 TO about 400. As
10 Col. Baughman's capacity for Comp
troler there is no question. 1t is conceded.
His excellent ability has been shown in the
prudent economical and wise administra-
y ton of the financial and other affairs Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, where he de-
Demonstrated that his abilities were of high
|order and proved his full qualification for
the responsible position of Comptroller
The ticket is well distributed geographic
cally. From the rich, prosperous and pro-
gressive Eastern Shore comes the Governor,
from the metropolis of the state the Attor-
ney-General, and from Western Maryland
the Comptroller.
Altogether the ticket is an acceptable
one. In fact it is one to arouse enthusi-
asm. and we predict larger Democratic
majority in the state than has been pOlled
for some years. 1t is strong ticket, full
of merit and viii commend itself to every
true Democrat in the state.
